Why IE 8 Won't Save Microsoft's Dwindling Browser Market Share
- |

Internet Explorer is hemorrhaging user like blood from a one-legged knight, but, like the stubborn knight of Monty Python fame, it isn't dead just yet. The latest numbers show Internet Explorer closing out the year with a 68.15 percent share of the web browser market — still the majority of web users, but down significantly from its starting point of roughly 75 percent back in January of 2008.
The three major browsers profiting from IE's dwindling numbers are Firefox, Safari and Chrome, which all saw a jump in users during December. Google's Chrome browser even managed to top the 1 percent mark for the first time — not bad for a browser that's barely out of the beta stage stage.
Of course browser share is a notoriously slippery number — every survey reports slightly different numbers — and web metrics vendor Net Applications cautions that these latest numbers are preliminary and have not been fully reviewed.
Still, even allowing for certain errors, things don't look good for the future of Microsoft's web browser.
The question for Microsoft is whether or not the coming Internet Explorer 8 will help turn the tide of defectors.
The next revision promises a number of enhancements, including private browsing features, a better bookmark manager, a much more standards-friendly rendering engine and more.
But nearly all the features slated to arrive in IE 8 are already available today in its competitors.
It seems likely that, while IE 8 might mean that Internet Explorer has temporarily caught up with the rest, those who have already left IE will have little reason to return to the Microsoft fold.
One the other hand, for those still using Internet Explorer, IE 8 coulld offer enough in the way of improvements to make them stick around.
And with IE losing perhaps as much as 7 percent of its users in the last year, winning new converts would be nice, but even slowing the losses probably looks pretty good to Microsoft. If the current defection rates shown in Net Application's survey continue, Internet Explorer will drop below 50 percent in just over two years.

text: I take 30 mg in the morning and 60 mg in the evening before bed. Does or has anyone had trouble with loosing weight while being on this medication? I have lost about 15lbs and am currently at a stand still with weight loss for the past 3 weeks. Have been dieting for over 12 weeks and the first 15lbs were hard enough to get off. I have not changed my exercise routine for eating habits. Just wondering if the medication could have something to do with the trouble with my weight loss. Thank you!

Re: Evelyn Ostrander/Burns
I always think that when a woman remarries & dies, then that's the name she should have on Find A Grave. When her name is also on her 1st husband's stone, it complicates things!
My feeling is Evelyn should remain under Ostrander (#30878737). That's also the name the cemetery had her under. I'll delete the Burns name (#30778467), then add the Burns stone to the Ostrander one.
What are your thoughts on that?

RE: Mary Ann Bostwick Dunn
I was at the Clinton Confederate Cemetery in Jan. 2014 and Mary Ann is my wife's 2nd great grandmother. The stone you have a picture of was not in the area of the Dunn, Rieley, burials and your memorial states 2007 I think. Perhaps you would like to see my Find-a-Grave memorial on her. If we can clarify the location and date of the stone you show perhaps we could combine to one or I could edit yours. Bob Munroe

Carmichael families
Dear Cheryl,
I am trying to help a friend in the state of Washington find the cemetery where her second husband, William and his first wife, Maryse, are buried. They both were cremated. William died last January 23, 2014 in Georgia. Since my friend knew the Carmichael families had a big plot in the cemetery.
From the names listed in Jackson City Cem., she did recognize the name Thomas Aldine as being her husband's uncle.
Her husband's parents were: Thrasher David Carmichael and Ruth Cole Carmichael. They are also in this cemetery but I did not find their name as being listed.
Anything you can help me with I would appreciate it so much.
Thank you,
Faye Shaw

Children of Eli Curtis (#400609410 and Elizabeth Bennett(#74959887)
Do you have any additional information on Anna Fairbanks Curtis, born 19 Nov 1809, Charlton, MA, daughter of Eli Curtis and Elizabeth Bennett? She appears to be the only child not named in the list of their children on findagrave (and, of course, she is my direct ancestor) Anna married William Mills 5 Dec 1824 according to a deposition she made in Monroe County when she filed for divorce for desertion in 1855. It is not clear, but it appears that she filed for the divorce so that she could inherit from her father Eli's estate without her husband being involved.
William and Ann had at least 6 children: Clarinda b 1832 who married James B. Kelley, Elizabeth (my 2nd great grandmother) b 1836, who married David Vance, Margaret J. b 1840, Anna b 1841 who married Wilson Robbins, William N. b 1844 married Mary Campsadela Valentine, and Sarah Jane b 1845 who married Hezekiah Pryor.
The last I find Anna Mills, is 1880 census, Noble, Stock, OH. Anna is 75, living alone, b MA, father b MA, mother b RI.
Did not find her at Curtis Ridge when I walked the cemetery many years ago, but lots of faded stones and ground hog holes.
I have a lot about her descendants and even more about her ancestors, would like to find where shw is buried and if there were any additiona children.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
Whats your preference?
I prefer d pad for this game since the control stick doesnt seem as responsive and is place awkward and d-pad has what I would like to say tight controls
Since all of Dante's combos rely on quick, specific, often multiple directional, inputs, i rely on the D-Pad. And even STILL i can't empty cancel D:
Although whenever i use Issac's level 3 i switch to the Analog Stick. That way i can shoot diagonally if i need to.

MotoGP: Dani Pedrosa puts the pressure on Jorge Lorenzo
Japanese Grand Prix
- Venue: Twin Ring circuit, Motegi
- Saturday 13 October: Qualifying: 04:55-08:05, Red Button
- Sunday 14 October: Moto2 & 3 races: 02:55-05:05, Red Button; MotoGP race on BBC2 05:30-07:00 and BBC Sport website. Repeated BBC2 12:30-14:00.
With Jorge Lorenzo holding a 33-point lead at the top of the MotoGP standings with just four races left, the pressure will really be wound up in Japan this weekend.
On the face of it, he is a huge favourite to win his second world title. He has not finished out of the top two in a race all season, and if he keeps that up the championship is his.
But pressure can do funny things to a sportsman. America's Ryder Cup golfers can tell you that.
MotoGP standings
- Jorge Lorenzo - 290 points
- Dani Pedrosa - 257 points
- Casey Stoner - 186 points
- Andrea Dovizioso - 179 points
- Cal Crutchlow - 135 points
Dani Pedrosa may be back in second in the standings but truthfully he is in stunning form. He will take an awful lot of beating this weekend, he is on a roll.
I can't imagine that Jorge isn't nervous, and as long as it is possible for Pedrosa to still win it, he will fight for it.
Maybe that's my optimism talking as I'd love to go to the last race in Valencia with the title still to be decided - but until it is won, it is all to play for.
We seem to be forever talking about Casey Stoner but he is back from injury this weekend and it will be very interesting to see how he gets on.
He could play a huge part in deciding this title, and I can't see him not being on the podium. He could be the fly in the ointment for Lorenzo and Yamaha, and he can help his Repsol Honda team-mate Pedrosa out massively.
Lorenzo has said that attack is the best form of defence and he will go out there to win. But the faster you go the more you increase your chances of crashing out, which would be disastrous for him. Pedrosa and Stoner have nothing to lose.
How the title race could change
If Dani Pedrosa won all four remaining races and Jorge Lorenzo could finish no better than third in each, the final standings would be:
- Dani Pedrosa: 357 points
- Jorge Lorenzo: 354 points
Stoner has said he is looking forward to coming back and seeing his team this weekend - which is strange given that he is walking away from the sport at the end of the season because he has had enough of it.
I've never seen Stoner not race to win. These are the last four races we can see Stoner race. Don't miss it.
Away from the track, I'm quite excited about the organisers of MotoGP taking over World Superbikes.
We were starting to get a grey area between the two formats and this gets rid of that and gives the organisers the chance to bring down the cost of MotoGP.
It won't detract from the racing in either class and means more teams can afford to compete. That can only be good news.

1. Dani Pedrosa 2. Casey Stoner 3. Jorge Lorenzo

13th October 2012 - 13:23I see Jorge extending his championship lead over Dani on Sunday. 2012 not a championship year for Dani bar mechanical failure for Jorge.
Comment number 19.
13th October 2012 - 6:50So Steve actually thinks Stoner will beat a fully fit Lorenzo, after looking at qualifying there is no way that stoner is fully fit. By the time he is fit It could be too late for Dani. Would love to know why Steve seems to have such a problem with Lorenzo, as all year he hasn't predicted one win for him
Comment number 18.
Joseph Postin
13th October 2012 - 3:45Stoner has had the misfortune to have been on a Ducati when he was at his most committed. OK for the first season of the 800. The engine dominance aided but once the gap was reduced and the superior handling of the other manufacturers left him struggling crossing the limit line too frequently on the Ducati, he has under achieved. Fast though he is, a real racer does him every time and he hates it.
Comment number 17.
12th October 2012 - 18:51Why does Steve Parrish keep talking Jorge down? Casey Stoner isn't as good as Steve keeps making him out to be. And to say that Stoner will come back this weekend and beat Jorge after being off a bike for over a month, is ridiculous. Stoner won't play any part in the outcome of this years' championshp now, unless he deliberately takes Jorge off.
Comment number 16.
12th October 2012 - 17:09I would love Dani to win it, especially with Marquez heaping more pressure on him next year... although, it looks like it's going to take some Ben Spies-style misfortune to make it happen..!

Has any thought been given to pod-casting the show? It would help out some displaced hillbillies conveniently listen in. If this is already being done could someone send me a link, I can't find it.
Silas, Thanks for contacting me with all this useful information. I'd love to visit Appalshop, but my husband has health problems which prevent me from doing as many writing activities as I would like. I have a new book with a new publisher. We are putting the finishing touches on it now. I hope I will have it in my hands by September if not before.
Regarding rural youth retention, people today may not be aware of how corporate America called for trying to get rural youth to move away. Related to this, the big problem in the Commodity Title is not the presence of farm commodity subsidies, but rather the absence of adequate fair trade price floors and supply management. For example, while OPEC balanced supply and demand and drastically raised oil prices, the US, with even a larger export market share, chose to overproduce and to reduce prices, so that we lost money on exports for decades. Corporations buying farm commodities (corn, wheat, rice, cotton, feedgrains) supported these reductions at America's expense, (CED, "An Adaptive Program for Agriculture"), calling for drastic reductions in farm bill price floors to run "one third" of US farmers off the land in a period of five years, and that was just for one decade. They also called for special programs to try to get rural youth to move away. Unfortunately, these policy issues are rarely understood in the mainstream media and farm bill activism today, leading people usually to advocate on the opposite side from their intentions, to call for mere subsidy changes, and not a return to non subsidy fair trade price floors.
While for some an ideal world would see no reliance on thermal coal (steam coal) to produce electricity, coal statistics would suggest the commodity isn't going anywhere. Coal reports show if we have to live with it, we may as well reduce the impact of coal and CCS seems to be the best solution found to date. Cherry http://www.coalportal.com

If you missed the I Love Mountains Day this year maybe you can attend next year. It is such a great event to express your feelings concerning surface mining/mountain top removal. I so much enjoyed hearing Ada and Cody give their talks as well as all the others that had such good things to say in support of stopping MTR. I had the pleasure of riding the big bus that stopped at Whitesburg to pick up so many of my frieds and fellow coal miners. It was a great trip. Thanks to the more than 1200 or 1300 folks that attended from all over Kentucky and surrounding states. Thanks to the many groups that participated in the "Pin Wheel" construction. The Capitol grounds looked great after it had been "Pin Wheeled." I just hope and pray the people inside got the message. Hope we can also continue our weekly sit in's to get our message out to everyone inside the capitol as well. Hope you can attend during the week or next year on I Love Mountains Day.

Great show! Very creative to turn the poems into recipes. I am officially an online fan.

Yes, we will! Hope to see you!
I just got back from Eastern Kentucky and I have an updated list of items that are most needed at the distribution shelters (e.g. the Index Community Center and East Valley Elementary School). I wasn't sure who was coordinating the collections in the area aside from what we collected at alumni relations, but I had heard mention of many people wanting to be involved. I also didn't know if these updates should go through the campus Christian center or if there was some way to get this information out to the local churches. I did remember, however, that you are very involved in some of the other community efforts in the community and hoped you could forward this to along to those who you knew would be working to coordinate collections for the disaster relief. Would you be able to forward this information to those who were interested in coordinating a collection for the disaster relief? The items in bold are the items most needed.
Kitchen -Cans of Carnation Evaporated Milk -Gallon cans of vegetables- corn, peas, green beans and baked beans -Gallon cans of Chicken Broth -Gallon cans of Tomato Sauce
Shelter Supplies -Underwear- all sizes and any gender -Socks- all sizes and any gender -Any type of meal that is packaged ready to eat -Tarps -Lanterns -Kerosene Heaters -Rakes -Shovels -Work Gloves -Trash Bags -Fuel Cans

The coordinators at both centers also stated that monetary donations would be useful to help them stock supplies for clean up, provide fuel to transport the donated items to the various distribution centers and so on. I'm not sure who is heading up the collection efforts here in town or donating the remaining supplies, but according to Kentucky Emergency Management (KyEM) a lot of this can be coordinated through the Red Cross and we saw several volunteers at the shelter who were with the Salvation Army. Grace Baptist Church in West Liberty will be allowing volunteers to aid with outdoor cleanup starting tomorrow (March 7, 2012) at 8am. I will provide the contact info for the churches and shelters we spoke to so that the coordinators here can speak with their volunteers and get the most up to date information about what they need. A lot of the cellular communications are down still, but perhaps you can get through on the land line or just check with the number I've provided for the Salvation Army.

You're station is very informative, such devastation cannot be stated enough. Glad you are reporting what these poor families are having to endure. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks very much for the Old Time String band broadcast. I especially loved hearing George Gibson there. I am from "far" but greatly appreciate being able to hear WMMT.
Any pictures or recordings available from Old Time String Band Day? I had a wonderful time!!

Hi Bill, it seems you're thinking of the one and only Rich & The Po' Folk, based right here in Letcher County, KY. They play many gigs around the area and have put out an album on June Appal Records called "When the Whistle Blew." You can reach Rich Kirby (he of the Po' Folk) at [email protected]. Thanks for listening!

Very good program you make! Could even be better if more working class stuff would be offered.
Because I am struck hard, I could only donate through convincing my wife to give a bit instead. But even this would require locally acknowledged tax reducibility, and second that also she would like the more labor-oriented music and culture.

i have some old recordings from 1993 of wmmt. the show was called dolly mamma's rock n roll revival or something of that nature. a group of people would play various hard rock/classic rock and heavy metal music. shag, morbid boy, happy harvey and the dolly momma were the main ones. best i remember it was on around 11pm or so on a monday night, and maysbe sometimes on a thurs nite.
also have some old recordings from the chickenman from 1995, on his sunday afternoon show and a some dec 1995 recordings of chickenman on friday nights.
glad wmmt has the chickenman back on the air on saturday nights. he would play some of my favorite music back in 1995 when i used to listen to his show, and would record it on cassette tape when i got the chance.

[…] as Will Oldham, best known as "Bonnie Prince Billy," plays a benefit show for WMMT, the Whitesburg-based community radio station operated since 1985 by […]
[…] Mr. Oldham hails from Louisville, but has rich ties to Appalshop & the Appalachian region. He appeared as a young miner-preacher in the 1987 John Sayles film Matewan, which was about the early 20th century massacre in the coal-town of Matewan, West Virginia that resulted from efforts to unionize the local mines. Appalshop sponsored a Whitesburg screening of the film in 1988, and we think we remember Will telling us recently that he remembers being on WMMT sometime in the late 80′s as well. We know for certain that Mr. Oldham visited Whitesburg in 2005 for a tour of the Appalshop archive, during which visit he and Appalshop filmmaker Robert Salyer took to the WMMT airwaves to talk and spin records from Appalshop's June Appal label late into the night (hear the audio from this visit here).

I love WMMT.I turn it on first thing each morning and listen all day. My Daddy was a coal miner all his life and died with blacklung.I would like to hear the song Daddy took his lunch bucket through the gates of heaven.I'm sure thats not the title but your so good I know you will know the one I mean. I also keep my car tuned to WMMT.YOUR THE BEST!
I sent you one e-mail already today but I thought I would ask if you would dedicate a song to my Dad Tivis Sutherland and his brother Miles Sutherland. Miles survived the mine explosion in McClure back in the 70's. I get so into your programing.I love all you do.You made a statement awhile ago about coal being a backbone but so is Bluegrass.My Mother played the guitar and sang to us songs of the mountians all her life and I still have tapes she recorded.Love,love,love WEMT.

Greetings to WMMT from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am one of your new found fans, having read the recent article in National Geographic. Since then, I have listened to you through live feed (online) almost every day. Absolutely love the music, the programmers and every show I've had the oppportunity to listen to. Since finding this 'gem' amongst the many stories in my monthly National Geographic, I have started to make plans to travel to Kentucky to see and experience your beautiful State. I sincerely hope my plans will enable me to stop by WMMT to extend to you my appreciation for the great work you do! Til then, stay happy… stay healthy… and keep smiling.
Regards, Jo-Ann Bird
Thanks so much for the kind words, and thanks so much for listening! Absolutely come visit anytime, we'll be here and we'd love to show you around the station. In the meantime, if you send your address to [email protected], we'd be happy to send you a bumper sticker… we love to get pictures of folks with WMMT bumper stickers in all of these different places! Keep listening and please do come visit us, you're more than welcome.

It will be online in a month or so – after the next issue of the magazine comes out.
The absolute best radio station I've ever heard. Saw the Nat Geo Traveller article while browsing on the newstand. Traveling the country in a motor home (they can't hit a moving target) and listening over the internet from the Pacific Northwest.
Whoa, well we're honored to be along for the ride! Thanks so much for listening, and for reaching out. If you've got a PO Box somewhere we'd be happy to send along a bumper sticker for your motor home.

Hi Dave
I was just listening to you online when you mentioned (Justin?) from Australia dropping by Whitesburg. Wow – what a coincidence – so I thought I'd let you know there is another Aussie listening..I read about your radio station in a magazine somewhere on a plane, I think. I was in NYC/Boston up till last Saturday and it was snowing most of the time..I love the snow and envy you. It is so hot and sticky here at the moment. Been through about 45 US states but never Kentucky for some reason Have to fix that one day.
Anyway I enjoy country music but am intrigued by the selection you play ..very eclectic and bluesy. I love it.
Been nice chattin' with ya..

To the people of Kentucky from a consumer of coal from Eastern KY and West Virginia….writing from Metro Atlanta. We currently use a lot of both Mountain Top Removal coal and "underground" coal. It powers our pumps, cools our grocery stores, powers our computers and runs our clinics and hospitals.
But its killing 1,458 miners a year with "Black Lung" and MTR is ruining creeks and well waters to the point that real medical issues like birth defects increasing in counties that have MTR andcancer rates are significantly higher in counties with an MTR mine.
You've heard it before….right? well this is not going away and Appalachian folk need allies among the flat lands. We've got to organize and work for a solar-wind-conservation future. This will help prevent tragedy and will lead to jobs in a field that hopefully wont be in competition with other countries.
In the meantime the coal severance tax needs to be increased so that Kentucky can benefit from this natural resource. Yes, tax the rich…for it belongs to Kentuckians. Paul Hays Christiansforthemountains.org

Whew, this involves a lot of isssues but we need to simplify. 1st , regardless of how you feel about big media: we need to thank ABC news and Nightline. This issues has been disseminated across the nation into every native american reservation every Hispanic barrio and on countless college campuses where future employees of EPA and MSHA and the Sierra Club are studying. 2nd. Fire all M.D.s who falsified data!!This is about more than public dollars this is about lives lost not to tobacco but lak of following regulations and lax regulations in general. 3rd Work with the Black Lung Clinics that exist in West Virginia,Kentucky and Virginia. Although Black Lung exists in other states…it is most widespread in these 3 states with rates from 4% to 8% according to the Lexington Herald!!
To BE CONTINUED I AM AT A PUBLIC LIBRARY IN GEORGIA!!!
Paul and I attended Morehead State College, Morehead KY, (Now Morehead University) and a group of us often enjoyed Paul's music before he sent the lyrics to Hank Williams. I distinctly remember the day we sat in "the grill" and heard him read "I overlooked an orchid". I'm sure that was the first time anyone had heard the words. I left Morehead in 1954 to join the Air Force and never saw him again. I just now found out about his untimely death. He was always kind and generous to everyone.
Han was my nephew… His passing has been a struggle to us, this is so hard to put our minds around it and grasp the situation at hand.. Someone as descent and good hearted as he was–it just doesn't seem fair.. I didn't realize he had put his epilepsy into his joy of being a DJ… When I saw he was calling himself DJ Seizzy I had to laugh and realizing he has come to grasps with his medical condition of having seizures.. Unknowing to us, him, or his friends this would be the cause of his passing.. We will truly miss your unique sense of humor and your colorful personality. Love always Aunt Diane, Uncle Sam, and Bailey Shea

Many social ills have a national Day….why not do something on 1 day for the miners….maybe this would lead to something. At least it would let the population know who is on whose side. Anotehr thing we can do is to try and get 60Minutes or Miother Jones to do a piece.
I am trying to find an interview that my dad did with the radio station around 1990/1991? Can you help me? Dennis Breeding, he played with the Marion Sumner band. thanks.
Hi Genie,
Well, we've asked around, and thus far haven't been able to come up with any ideas… that's a long ways back. Was the interview done live on-air, or was it part of something else (e.g. a documentary or something)? If it was part of another production, there might be a chance something's laying around here somewhere, but if it was just an interview live, on-air then I'm not sure we'd have much luck! If you've got any more info, though, we're happy to keep trying.
All best,

These are important perspectives. Many of these young folk will grow up to become decision makers. Some will watch Kentucky Educational TV others will join the armed forces or work in a coal mine, others will become artists or work in fast food. Some will move out of state. Their fate is unknown but by keeping in touch with APPALSHOP they chances are improved.
Something should be done for the miners. I am the mother of the young man recently killed at Murrays century mine. I am sickened by all the safety violations that have, and continue to occur. I pray every day for the safety of these coal miners and that all safety violations be rectified immediately.
I heard about your radio station during the discussion on NPR about the "call in" show. As a man from Kentucky, I appreciate that your volunteers are performing what they consider is a community service. I also appreciate Appalshops stated goals of promoting cultural diversity and challenging stereotypes of local industries. But I wanted you to hear from one person, me, that believes you are doing a disservice to many of the financial supporters of your station. Our glamorization of criminals and criminal activity creates an unacceptable allure to that behavior. One of your little soundbites was a dad listening to the ABC's from his child. Isn't that special. How about the people he harmed to be put in there. How about the many children in different families that these men have created but do not support? I don't mean to go on a tirade but wanted you to hear at least one opinion different than your own.
Hi Mark,
Thanks so much for getting in touch, and for sharing your views. Calls from Home is something we believe in very strongly and we have no plans to stop, and we disagree that it's doing anyone a disservice. But we do appreciate you reaching out.

What is the next big thing that will move the world economy from coal to solar?
There are 1.5 billion people living in tiny rural farms, who own cell phones, so they can sell their eggs & vegetables, but they have no place to charge the battery.
To charge their cell phone, they have to walk 5 miles to a store & pay to charge their cell. Their homes have no electricity, but they have a cell phone. That may sound funny, but that is how fast cell phones are selling. This is now called the IT revolution: information technology. It is inevitable that this economic wave will eliminate oil and give us the freedom of the solar economy.
Safe, clean, quiet, decentralized, free roof top solar energy.
Many millions of these people are now buying solar panels so they can charge their phones, for free, from the sun. Last year these 1.5 billion people, living in India, Africa, Brazil & China spent $4 billion for solar panels. Often one person will buy one solar panel and so be able to charge everyones phone in the village from the sun. This cash flow pays for the solar panel. Then she buys another solar panel. Maybe 10. S
uddenly this small farming village is now 100% solar powered. World wide, there are 1 billion people now buying solar panels just to charge their cell phones, just because they live so far from the nearest grid. They are spending $4 billion for solar.
The cost of a solar panel in India is about the same as the cost of a cell phone. That is $4 billion the coal companies were trying to snag. That is $4 billion going to make each village 100% solar powered. This explosive growth of these billion people in rural areas buying cell phones to sell their products in the market is causing a shift from coal, gas & oil to 100% solar.
Where can I see dates/schedule of events for August…..hoping to come visit, soon!
trying to say hi to Scott and listening barb lucero

So sorry to hear of Big. We listen on the internet from Lubec, Maine and referred to Big as "Uncle Willie" and looked forward to hearing him on the radio. Our prayers and deepest sympathy to all the whole family at WMMT. But fear not, we will see him again. "Let us cross over the River and rest under the shade of the trees" -General Stonewall Jackson-
Sad to hear the passing of Willard. I used to listen to his program, the Scuttle Hole Gap Get-Together, in the 90s while I pastored in the area for a short time.

At the national level, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 1998, generally known as the Shays-Meehan Bill, H.R. 3526, is pending in the United States Congress. This legislation prohibits national political parties, federal candidates, and officials from raising, spending, or directing "soft money" and prohibits state parties from spending "soft money" for activities that affect federal elections.
Sanctimony has marked much of the talk in both houses of the United States Congress, but attempts to avoid commitment have marked the legislative process. Receivers of large contributions like to receive large contributions. Such receivers have offered disabling amendments, and more are threatened, to destroy the clean and clear thrust of the Shays-Meehan Bill.
At the state and local level, campaign finance reform is being proposed via referendum and other measures. For example, Massachusetts will have a referendum on the ballot in November of 1998.
Because the use of the democratic process is a cherished fundamental of Unitarian Universalism, the 1998 General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association urges:

The Town of Milton's budget has narrowly passed for the third consecutive year.
In a 6-5 vote in favour of approving the 2013 budget Monday night, councillors were divided when it came down to accepting a 3 per cent tax hike for urban residents and a 3.05 per cent tax hike for rural residents.
Voting in favour of approving the budget were councillors Colin Best, Sharon Barkley, Cindy Lunau, Arnold Huffman, Rick Di Lorenzo and Zeeshan Hamid.
Voting against it were Mayor Gord Krantz, councillors Rick Malboeuf, Tony Lambert, Greg Nelson and Mike Cluett.
In the two previous years, the budget had also come down to a 6-5 vote, with council approving a 3.6 per cent tax increase for Milton's urban residents and a 4.62 per cent increase for rural residents in the 2012 budget, and council approving a 4.58 per cent tax hike for all residents in the 2011 budget.
Councillors had a tough time coming to an agreement at last week's budget committee meeting.
Councillors Malboeuf, Nelson and Cluett expressed their concerns about the creation of an infrastructure renewal reserve fund, which was added at the last minute during the budget committee meeting last week.
Nelson said he would've liked to have had public input before agreeing to spend an initial $100,000 to establish the fund, which increased the proposed tax hike from 2.75 per cent to about 3 per cent.
"We did what we thought was best without asking the public what's happening in their backyard," he said.
Malboeuf said in the last municipal election some of the current council members campaigned on a platform of fiscal responsibility, controlling costs and keeping taxes low while criticizing previous councils for raising taxes year after year.
"In the last election, Miltonians voted for change. Unfortunately what they got was much of the same," he said.
"All we did was change four quarters for a dollar."
He said had council chosen to cut its spending and reverse its decision on implementing a parking bylaw that will now see the parking limit extended from three hours to five hours, it may have been able to have the tax increase closer to the rate of inflation.
Malboeuf added he would've liked to have seen the five-year master plan for transit before councillors approved Saturday transit services. He believes it won't be used as much on weekends.
In defending the approved budget, Best said nearly half of the tax increase is going to support the hiring of five additional fulltime firefighters at the new James Snow Parkway station to bring Milton up to the minimum standards for emergencies.
He added he believes an infrastructure reserve fund is required to help address future needs.
For example, he cited the cities of Toronto, Mississauga and Montreal, which have been facing infrastructure-related problems.
"If you don't put the money away, you're going to be faced with 10 times the cost," he said. "You think this year is bad, next year is going to be worse with the GTA pooling funds ending."
Lunau reiterated that it isn't a perfect budget, but it's one that took into consideration the input of all of the councillors.
"It's easy to criticize and it's a lot harder to make it (budget) over," she said. "Staff put together a budget that we can certainly support as a group."
Lunau added councillors were elected to come to a compromise when needed and that's what they did.
The capital portion of the budget projects a $65.4 million investment in about 100 projects related to new infrastructure and the rehabilitation of existing assets like facilities, roads, bridges, parks and equipment.
The operating part of the budget, which looks after the delivery of services required to meet the needs arising from growth in the community and to support the quality of life that residents expect, is projected at around $94.4 million.
Milton's share of the tax bill makes up 31 per cent of the total. Regional and education taxes are 43 per cent and 26 per cent respectively.
That means Miltonians will see an overall tax increase of 1.61 per cent in the urban area and 1.57 per cent in the rural area on their 2013 property tax bills.
The average Milton rural resident and urban resident will now pay an extra $6.62 and $7.56 per $100,000 of assessment on 2013 property taxes respectively or $23.17 and 26.46 on a home worth $350,000.

On September 25, 1912, it snowed in Fargo Moorhead. The summer of 1912 had been hot and very dry and the heat wave had continued into the early part of September. Three of the first eight days in September were in the 90s. But it began to rain September 12. It rained on 12 of the next 14 days. During this time, the weather turned remarkably cooler. Daily high temperatures dropped into the 50s starting September 14. There was a light frost on September 16. On September 24 and 25, a steady rain accumulated to more than one inch with the temperature hovering around 40 degrees. And late on September 25, the cold rain turned to snow, accumulating two inches on the ground during the night. It remains the earliest measurable snow in Fargo Moorhead recorded history.
On September 26, 1965, it was 19 degrees in Fargo Moorhead. The month of September, 1965, had been cool from the start. It had been that cloudy, cool, dank weather that sometimes settles in during the fall for long periods. Most days were in the 50s. Frost had not happened due to the perpetually cloudy weather. But on September 24, the sky cleared but it only warmed to 62 degrees. That night, it turned unusually cold. By midnight, the temperature had reached 29 degrees, and by morning it was 22. The following day, September 25, it remained sunny but the high was just 55 degrees. The following morning, the temperature bottomed out at 19 degrees. This remains the earliest temperature in the teens in Fargo Moorhead weather history. The next three days, the clouds returned and highs were only in the 40s, but there was no more frost until early October. The winter of 1965-66 was bitterly cold but is most famous for the terrible blizzard of March, 1966, considered by most climatologists to have been the strongest blizzard of the 20th Century on the Great Plains.

A battle over Bible banners is unfolding at high school football games in north Georgia.
For years, Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., cheerleaders have held up a banner with a Bible verse and members of the football team would then run through it.
But the practice has now been banned.
Brian Faughnan, writer for The Washington Times, joined CBN News to discuss the first amendment and religious freedom in this case. Click play to watch.
"It's kind of angered all of us, but it's also upset us just because we work really hard, and we're trying to encourage the football team and the community, and that's just been taken away from us," cheerleader Taylor Guinn said.
Denia Reese, the school superintendent, thinks "it's a wonderful thing for them to do," but cites the law as problematic.
"The problem with federal law is the fact that the location inside the football field creates the impression that the school system is endorsing that particular religious message," she said.
Reese adds that the Supreme Court has been clear about religious messages at football games.
But the community is vowing to fight.
